Trump seems to be captured and in awe of Putin and is spouting what Russia has previously said. Putin and Trump are a loved up but odd Bromance.

His he unable to have independent thoughts or ideas?

Previously, America was fully behind Ukraine. A mere few months and Trump is in love with Putin and sounds like his puppet. Putin has the biggest smile.

Im wondering if hes going to try to do what hes trying in Gaza, saying the us will move into Ukraine and the Ukrainians can go live elsewhere...

Nothing would surprise me now

Absolutely. To suggest Biden was Zelensky's puppet is laughable. If there's any puppeteering going on, Trump is now Putin's bitch and to blame Ukraine for starting the war, I have no words

Trump - Putin - Musk threesome

I don't think puppet necessarily, but he is definitely aiming to appease him beyond for the reasons he's saying, just not 100% sure why. He's crafted a narrative that anyone against his negotiations wants the war to continue, whilst of course people that don't believe everything they read on social media know this not to be true, scarily loads believe it and reality isn't required.

Who knows.
I think they are two megalomaniacs who understand that if either one chooses to be ‘top dog’ it spells the start of all out war.
I don’t believe Putin would have invaded Ukraine had Trump still been in power. Obviously just an opinion but they are as power hungry as each other.

Guess it's only me that thinks Trump is Putins puppet. He seems to be spouting what Putins bots have been sharing for a while. I think Trump has swallowed the same bot message.
